a 2-3% one day decline is nothing significant in the stock market. Besides, URF is still positive for the year:

Re: Jersey City writer hates new Shepard Fairey mural

 Shepard's mural is clearly comes from his work titled "Water is the New Black". Lady Liberty replaces the oil rig.  In an article he wrote for the Daily Beast about his recent NYC art exhibit, "On Our Hands", at the Jacob Lewis Gallery, he states: "Starting with a collaboration I did with the Surfrider Foundation in 2009 and continuing with my response to the BP spill in the Gulf in 2010, I?ve made several images of waves and water threatened by or contaminated by oil spills. This piece was largely inspired by the very visible oil platforms off the coast of Santa Barbara, as well as the recent oil spill there. The contrast between the beauty of the coastline and the oil platform that is a symbol of the threat to that coastline is a provocative way for me to indulge my love of beautiful subject matter and a symbol of the threat to the environment. Much in the same way I find the rhythm of waves and the ocean mesmerizing, the process of illustrating the ripples and curves of the water is rhythmic and therapeutic. Unlike climate change, which many people deny because you can?t see it in front of your face, it is hard to refute the destruction that an oil spill brings. I have donated proceeds from almost all of my wave images to the NRDC to help them push legislation that protects the environment from reckless corporations. Unfortunately, the oil and gas industry has very deep pockets and is difficult to fight." Article here: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles ... tion-in-on-our-hands.html

Look at page 40 of this presentation - the proposed new Harborside. Right now, Harborside is a dead zone for Jersey City residents. There is nothing that draws us there. Mack Cali will be completely revamping it, activating the street side and putting a marina on the water side. Notice the huge amount of retail space - 150000 sq ft. including 44000 sq ft for a "premium food market". This will be a key factor in activating that dead area of downtown.

Yes, more inventory will come online in the next few years, but the Jersey City market is not a market unto itself. It is part of a much larger market - NY Metro. Of all the Hudson River cities, we are the most connected to NYC, and we are now seen as a viable alternative to the sky-high prices in the city.
Then you have the whole trend towards urbanization where buyers, whether millennials to empty-nesters, want to live an urban lifestyle and ditch the car (yes, many coming to Jersey City see it as a place where you don't need a car). I work with a lot of these types of buyers, so see it all the time. As long as NYC keeps doing it's thing, I believe that Jersey City will as well. The added inventory will be absorbed quickly. My biggest concern is PATH and keeping us so closely connected to NYC, but that's a whole other discussion.

614 Jersey, listed at 999K went into contract about one week after it was listed. Don?t know contract price yet, but it had multiple offers and seller got well over asking
656 Jersey, listed at 1.575M is in contract after being on market 43 days 332 York, listed at 1.7M, is in contract after being on market 13 days. Seller must have gotten close to asking if not asking in order to take it off market that quickly 12 Mercer has been on market 36 days and was reduced to 1.67M. Was asking too much based on it?s poor condition. 243 Marin was reduced from 1.99M to 1.599M on market now for 22 days. Completely renovated, and set up as 2 duplexes. Developer should have made it as a triplex plus garden rental or single family. There are more buyers in that segment of the market. It's also on busy Marin Blvd. I?m a realtor working with several buyers looking for townhomes. Many from the Bklyn where a similar townhouse is twice the price. The competition is fierce and anything decent that?s priced correctly moves within a week or so. I?d say that there is no cooling off.

There is a community meeting TONIGHT with some members (Danny Rivera, Candice Osborne, Chico Ramchal) of city council, festival organizers, and the community to discuss the Exchange Place festivals, their impact on the community with regards to noise, and what can be done to alleviate it.
Tonight, 7pm, Council Chambers, City Hall This is not a vote on the proposed ordinance amendment. Rather, it is an open meeting for discussion among the parties listed above, including the community. If you are concerned about noise from these festivals, this is your chance to be heard.

The councilperson, Candice Osborne, is not silent on this and she was present at the meeting when it was introduced last week. She's answering questions on this proposed ordinance on her facebook page. I recommend you take a look there and it may clear up the many misperceptions posted here. https://www.facebook.com/candice.osborne She's also posted a link that explains more detail about the proposed change. http://candiceosborne.com/updates/wee ... to-the-festival-ordinance The bottom line: This focuses only on Exchange Place and it's goal it to strike a balance for the residents in that area while keeping the festivals alive and well. This does not affect Groove on Grove, Diwali, and the many other festivals throughout other parts of the city. Many of the residents I've spoken with in the Exchange Place/Paulus Hook area (I live there too), attend these festivals as a form of entertainment, want them to continue (which they will), but also would like for them to quiet down at a reasonable hour on an evening when they they have to get up early for work the next morning.

Chinese firm makes $70M all-cash building buy in Jersey City
November 14, 2013 02:15PM Jersey City China Construction America has purchased a 1.1 million-square-foot building on the Jersey City waterfront, marking the firm?s second all-cash real estate deal in the New York area since April. CCA paid $70 million for the mixed-use site at 99 Hudson Street, and has plans to develop the space as an upscale complex with luxury condominiums, rental apartments, retail and a boutique hotel, Real Estate Weekly reported. The firm, which established a real estate development arm called Dynasty Capital earlier this year to invest in the area, purchased a Class A office building at 445 South Street in Morristown, N.J., for $71 million in April. CCA has plans to continue expanding its presence in the area, the firm told REW. ?We are pursuing a relatively cautious investment strategy while remaining agile and responsive to market opportunities,? Ning Yuan, president of CCA, told REW. CCA, a subsidiary of China-based construction and real estate conglomerate CSCEC, is headquartered in Jersey. CCA operates in Greater New York, South Carolina and the Bahamas. [REW] ? Julie Strickland Article link

Neighbor Living in Squalor - advice needed
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Not too shy to talk

In the 4 unit brownstone adjacent to mine, the two occupants of one of the floors are living in deplorable conditions to the point where I would define it as squalor.
They are the owners of the building and have lived there 50 plus years. They have become elderly and unhealthy to the point where they have not left their home in a couple of years. Someone is bringing food for them. In the past few weeks, the situation has deteriorated more, and I can now smell the stench in my house. And these are 19th century brownstones built with several layers thick of brick between them. One of the tenants in their building told me that they are not removing garbage from their apartment. As well, I have been able to see flies swarming on the inside of their windows. I feel very bad for these people, but at the same time am concerned for them and the immediate neighbors (myself included) due to what I feel is a hazardous situation, healthwise. I would welcome any good advice from those here as I don't really know where to start on this. Note that these people are ill and are unapproachable. The tenants have already tried that route. Thanks.

This stupid, anti-business law makes it very difficult if not impossible for a restaurant to succeed.
Look at Satis in Paulus Hook. That place is a huge asset to the neighborhood and Downtown Jersey City; IMO, the best place around. But because of this law, they can't get a liquor license (neighboring Johns Pizza already has one). Makes me worry about their ability to survive longer term.

Hi -
Can anyone recommend a gardener for a brownstone back yard with flower beds, some grass, perennials etc? I am looking to get the garden ready for the winter and then have this person care for it on a regular basis starting next spring. I see that some have recommended landscapers, but I am not in the need for landscaping, just maintenance gardening. Thank you!

$2M Brownstone In Paulus Hook?
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Not too shy to talk

I must be dreaming. I saw this listing on Craigslist for a brownstone in Paulus Hook on the market for $2M.
Anyone know which house it is? Here is the listing. ============================== ................ The Finest Brownstone in Paulus Hook...Totally Redone............. .............................................TWO MILLION DOLLARS.......................................... .........HUGE REDWOOD DECK...HOT TUB...5 MARBLE FIREPLACES......... ..................................A PATIO LARGE ENOUGH FOR 50............................... Rarely does a property this remarkable come to market. A 4-Family Brownstone built in 1860 and updated with the care and attention to detail by it's perfection obsessive owner. 5 original marble-mantle fireplaces. 5 marble baths with jacuzzis. A redwood deck so large, you could invite the office over for cocktails.(It also has a hot tub and Wolf Stainless grill system.) And a huge backyard that is all patio and all party. This brownstone is currently home to 4 families. It can be converted to a duplex for the owner and 2 rental units or remain as it is today - a remarkable property on the grandest street in Jersey City's Paulus Hook. Build your own roof deck and you have a lookout tower over Manhattan, Jersey City and beyond. Just enter the 14 ft entrance foyer and you'll get your first idea of what care and attention can bring to a property. And this property is remarkable. Nothing has to be done to it - except move in. This is a true brownstone with something no other brownstone in this area even thought to design. A sub-basement. 14 feet below ground. Designed by the owner and dug from the sandy soil 14 feet below --to create a gym/entertainment room. Marble floors, granite bath with jacuzzi. A spectacular and remarkable space. The steel beams to support this undertaking could hold up an apartment house. Next ... the deck. A redwood deck between the parlor and 2nd floors - with a hot tub for those sultry summer nights and weekends. With a stainless steel Wolf outdoor grill system. And all the room - plus all the strength-- to hold up any gathering. And then there are the apartments. Each has its own unique personality. But all share the same care and attention that ithe owner has given to the entire property. From marble baths to excpetional kitchen. The owner has scrimpted at nothing. And redone everything. From roof to electrical to you name it.
